Nigerian forward Blessing Eleke joins Belgian club Beerschot

Eleke says he is delighted at the opportunity to grow at his new club.

Nigerian forward Blessing Eleke has changed clubs during this summer transfer window from FC Luzern in Switzerland to Belgian Pro League club Beerschot.

Eleke joined Beerschot on a three-year-deal to end his two-year stint in Switzerland with FC Luzern.

“I want to make everyone happy and proud with my goals,” Eleke told the club’s official website after signing his contract on Wednesday

Elke club is op zoek naar een scorende spits. We zijn dan ook blij en trots dat we Blessing Eleke hebben aangetrokken. Blessing is nog maar 24 en een complete spits. Hij is doelgericht, technisch onderlegd en komt het best tot zijn recht in een 2-spitsensysteem. Daarnaast heeft hij enorme fysieke kwaliteiten en een grote groeimarge. Hij kan bij ons nog beter worden.' 💜🐻 #beerschot #transfer #togetherwebuildhistory

“I also want to score a lot for Beerschot and I am delighted that I can continue to grow at a club like Beerschot, in a city like Antwerp.

“Of all the offers I had, this was the best for me. I get better every year and I want to push it to the limit.”

This will be the 24-year-old’s fifth club in Europe since he left Flying Sports Academy in Nigeria in 2014.

He played in Slovenia and Israel before he joined Luzern where he scored 22 goals in 72 appearances.
